A member asked:
My husband noticed something like a skin tag a year ago and has no pain to it .... now it's grown enough to grab and pull ....is that normal?

Yes: It's probably located in an area where skin rubs against skin, such as the thigh or armpit. They are perfectly benign and of no consequence. They can easily be excised if desired, very simply in the office. Good luck.
